Dear Baldwin Park Unified School District Community,

Welcome to the start of a new school year! It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I extend my warmest welcome to each and every one of you. As the Superintendent of our School District, I am honored to have the opportunity to serve and lead such an exceptional community of learners, educators, and supporters.

In this new academic year, our focus centers on four key priorities: student achievement, support services, community engagement, and fiscal solvency. These priorities will guide our actions and decisions as we strive to provide the best possible educational experience for all Baldwin Park Unified students.

Student Achievement

First and foremost, student achievement is at the heart of everything we do. Our pledge toward academic excellence and equitable outcomes is unwavering. We are committed to nurturing an environment that fosters intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and a genuine love for learning. Our exceptional teachers and staff are dedicated to tailoring instruction to meet the unique needs of every student, providing them with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Support Services

In addition to academic support, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive support services to our students. We believe in nurturing their holistic development, promoting their well-being, and fostering a safe and inclusive environment. This includes access to counseling services, mental health support, and other resources necessary to ensure their overall growth and success.

Community Engagement

Community engagement is another central focus for us this year. We recognize the invaluable role parents, guardians, families, staff, and community members play in our students' educational journey. We actively seek your collaboration, involvement, and partnership as we work together to create a strong sense of belonging and shared responsibility. Your participation in school activities, events, and volunteer opportunities is greatly encouraged and appreciated. Together, we can build a resilient and supportive community that champions the success of every child.

Fiscal Prudence

Lastly, fiscal prudence remains a vital consideration as we navigate the economic challenges we face. We are committed to responsible financial management, ensuring that our resources are allocated efficiently and effectively to support student learning and achievement. Our commitment to fiscal stewardship allows us to provide the resources and opportunities necessary for our students to thrive.

As we embark on this new school year, let us remember that the success of our collective endeavors depends on open communication, collaboration, and a shared vision of excellence. I encourage you to engage actively, ask questions, and provide feedback to help guide and shape our district's continuous improvement.

Together, we will reach new heights, overcome challenges, and celebrate the many triumphs along the way. I am confident that this year will be filled with exceptional achievements, meaningful connections, and countless opportunities to learn and grow.

Thank you for your ongoing support, trust, and dedication to our school community. I am honored to serve as your Superintendent and look forward to working closely with you to realize the District’s priorities and Mission to Ensure High Achievement for All Learners.

Sincerely,

Froilan N. Mendoza
